Morning Mist

A misty morning preludes another hot and steamy "autumn" day. The last few days have been more like mid summer, concluding in scattered thunderstorms. Autumn coolness will surely come. In the meantime I'm loving these Comos flowers grown from seeds collected from a kerbside garden.

PS There is an update on last week's Bright and Warm post showing my quilting decision regarding the large triangles. Thank you to those who ventured an opinion.

These are lovely photos... I really needed to see something so bright and sunny as we are still in a terribly cold Spring ?.. in fact I'm not certain that we can call it spring as the snow is very deep still. The only good news right now is that we are supposed to have a very damp and wet spring which will be very good for the gardens As I am looking forward to a recovery from last year's drought ... Take care ! Larry

Gorgeous flowers again and so beautifully photographed. I thought maybe they were Coreopsis flowers when I saw them first but then read they're Cosmos. What a very special kind/colour of Cosmos.As hot and steamy autumn is where you live, as cold and freezing spring is over here. Bye,Marian

Such vivid, happy colored flowers! Your photography is beautiful. We are still buried in piles of messy snow.. I love our winters, but this time of year the snow thaws all day & freezes at night.. it gets dirty & messy & crunchy & slushy.. Sunshine & flowers are a cheerful thought right now!

You are right Carole. Each of these were taken in the garden with my Canon 600D + 50mm lens. However the black background isn't in the original - it was achieved by editing in iPhoto (adjusting levels, exposure and contrast).
